Since it was announced on Friday that Nigeria recorded a case of the novel Coronavirus disease, many Nigerians have been having sleepless nights over the development. As a knee-jerk reaction, people stormed pharmacists to buy out the hand sanitizers and face masks to prevent being infected by the deadly virus which has a fatality rate ranging between 2% and 4%.

Well, here are some reasons why Nigeria might not suffer the fate of China which has regrettably lost over 2,600 people to the outbreak which started in December, 2019:

(1) Swift response of the Nigerian medical team:

The index patient, an Italian was immediately tested and quarantined by medical officers who rightly suspected he might have the infection when he visited a clinic in Ogun State. This has limited the spread of the disease to a large extent.

(2) Contact Tracing:

[/b]The Federal Government in collaboration with the Lagos and Osun State governments have started the contact tracing exercise aimed at gathering people who came in touch with the Italian while he transited from Lagos State to Ogun after arriving on a Turkish airline. As at yesterday, the Ogun State government announced it had traced 28 persons and they have been quarantined. There is a search for 200 more people.

[b](3) Closure of construction plant index patient visited:

[/b]The factory the unnamed Italian visited has been closed down for disinfection and the authorities of the cement factory involved is cooperating with the medical personnel on ground. This will go a long way in cleaning up any objected the European must have infected.

[b](4) Effective public sensitization programmes:

We have to salute the Nigerian government for level of transparency it displayed as it quickly went public about the first case of the Coronavirus in Nigeria. It has also opened hot telephone lines for Nigerians who need help or have any information about the virus to contact constituted authorities. Short video clips, images and other banners have been released to educated people on how to stay safe from the virus. This has been heavily disseminated on social media.

(5) The Nigerian weather:

[/b]A medical expert named Elizabeth McGraw believes that the virus might not spread easily in regions of higher temperatures compared to the lower ones in America, Europe and Asia. According to her explanation, the virus relies on tiny droplets to spread and this might not be easily achievable under heated atmospheric conditions as experienced in Nigeria.

[b](6) Vaccine Development

[/b]An Israeli company recently announced that its close to developing a vaccine to tackle the novel disease. Some other companies in the U.S and across the world have made similar progress in medical research which is set to undergo clinical trials. This might also help in curtailing the outbreak in Nigeria and across the world. One of the richest men in the world, Bill Gates even announced that a vaccine could be ready later in June this year.

[b](7) Historical antecedence of Lagos State:

Lagos State which is like the centre of excellence in Nigeria has a history of reliability when it comes to containing infectious diseases. It did against the Ebola virus in 2014 after it was imported by a Liberian. The Lagos State Government presently has a health facility of 100 bed spaces set up in the Yaba area to treat infected patients. As long as the infections are detected early, patients will easily get treated here and the sporadic spread will be highly limited.

I will have said this from day 1 and I will say it again; this coronavirus virus scare is a money spinning scheme by greedy and callous health conglomerates. It's just a modification of the flu virus. Flu viruses are very contagious but not deadly as being promoted. As a health young man living in sub Saharan Africa, you have a better odd of winning 10 million naira in bet9ja than dying from coronavirus.

There is no proven vaccine against the common Cold and they are talking about vaccine against coronavirus. They just want to "gba" (scam)the public into taking some placebo vaccine and make millions of dollars. Even ordinary face masks which is only required by to prevent infected people from sneezing and spreading it around is now being marketed to everyone including non infected people. The price is being sold 10 times the price.

Here is a video from a skeptic like me;

What's kasa virus?

Anyway Ebola na senior brother of Corona. Ebola's fatality is far higher than corona. Why people are saying our hot weather is because corona is a flu virus, and flu viruses thrive better in cold weather.

Transited through ewekoro to Abeokuta last Friday. Activities were going on normal in lafarge. They should specify with part of the plant they shutdown biko.

Once you recover from the symptomatic phase, you can self-infect immediately. You do not develop immunity to covid-19.

It stays in the body, with a measurable count for up to 14 days. It is entirely possibly that nucleic acid tests might not detect it until it reaches a certain concentration in the body, allowing it to remain technically dormant while it begins incubating again.

Because you continue to infect yourself(or re-incubate after dormancy), covid-19 has limitless times to kill you.

Every time you become symptomatic, it is more severe.

The mortality rate rises with every symptomatic phase, so even if it's low the first time, it's significantly higher after your lungs have developed scarring from pneumonia, your organs and specifically your liver and heart will also be damaged.

You do not develop immunity to covid-19, and you will go through it over and over until it kills you.
Unless you get a working vaccine, once you're infected, you'll likely go through 2-4 symptomatic phases before dying, depending on your health and the severity of the first two symptomatic phases.

The first vaccines are entirely experimental. If you take the vaccine before you're infected, the vaccine will give you covid-19, so you might want to reconsider unless you're confident it can give you immunity. Taking the vaccine may likely kill you!

You will not develop immunity on your own, don't think by deliberately infecting yourself with Corona, you will develop natural immunity. That's not how this virus works. Once infected the virus screws your immune system. Your immune system has no clue on how to handle it because whoever created this thing made sure it can outsmart and out pace the natural human immune response. Self-isolate now before you get it, or you may not live past this pandemic.

The response so far from serious governments appear draconian because they are dealing with something that was deliberately created specifically to kill humans enmasse.

Ebola n Lassa viruses are African viruses. Ebola used to be the name of what is now called Congo River. It was first discovered near it.
Lassa is purely a Nigerian virus. Named after the town in Northern Nigeria where it was first experienced.

You have been desperately trying to assure the sheep that there is no need to be worried.

You think this virus is a natural pathogen

I laff.
